New oil development projects launched near Castro vill
An oil development on Los Angeles Heights Improvement Company property one mile west of Castroville shows three distinct oil pools in a shallow well with higher grade oil. Plans call for a second well at 1400 feet and five more wells later on a large tract, with work starting by September 1. Large stockholder Henry Hagerstein says the project could be big, funds to drill will come from selling about half of 1800 divided lots, and experts see a probable pool at 1490 to 1800 feet, despite anticipated strikes or delays.
